FINALLY, an update on the Brother vs. Belly Battle. Yes, it has been a bit of a wait (especially since I’m approaching the half-way mark), but I promise I could give you a whole long list of glorious excuses as to why I haven’t posted until now. But I’ll skip…
I’d like to introduce you to a new friend of mine. His name is Maynard. He has a mohawk. He is also a monster, complete with four little legs, two paddle arms, and one green eye. Want to know a few awesome things about Maynard (besides…
Did you fill out a bracket? And I hope you know what I mean about a bracket…. I am absolutely CLUELESS about basketball, but I at least know what March Madness is and that it’s mandatory to fill out a bracket. Last year, Brad, my mom, my step-dad, and myself…
Have you ever had an AH-HA! Moment? Maybe you were sitting in a lecture in college, and the professor was droning on and on and on, but then some phrase they said clicked in your brain. Or you were doodeling in your notebook in Chemistry while the teacher was going…

After last week’s confession, I did my best to use up some skeins of yarn, and I think I succeeded! Check out this beautiful wool yarn: Using the The Blue Leaf Headband pattern (found for free on Ravelry!), I knitted with double strands of the yarn to make…
